New Nursing Simulation Labs open up at South County
On Tuesday, Sept. 24, STLCC held a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house at its South County campus, highlighting the building’s new eSports arena and practical nursing wing. Almost every college administrator and many others from across the campuses were on hand for the festivities. The additions mark an important milestone in the College’s ongoing efforts to transform its facilities across the region and expand its offerings to better serve students and the community. More information regarding the eSports program can be found on page 11 of this issue.
Regarding the new simulation labs, which South County Campus Dean and Director Rob Lee called “tremendous,” the college said in a press release:
“The fall 2024 semester also introduced a practical nursing (LPN) certificate program at STLCC-
South County. The program moved into a remodeled wing on the second floor of the building.
This project’s construction was supported by STLCC Transformed funds, the College’s initiative
to transform its campuses and programming to meet student needs and workforce demands.
The simulation labs and classroom are designed to offer hands-on learning in real-world conditions, ensuring students are well-prepared for rewarding careers in nursing. This program will play a crucial role in addressing the need for skilled nursing professionals in the St. Louis region.”
